Coros Pace 2 Review

The Coros Pace 2 is an overall good watch. I had to opportunity to try it out for a month and came to a few conclusions. I currently use a Garmin Forerunner 255 and my main workouts are pool swim, bike, run, brick, and strength training. I found the Coros Pace 2 to be very comfortable, sleek, and lightweight. It has a lot of activity features and can even track heart rate while swimming (something other watches lack). I found it a bit difficult to build workouts, mainly as I couldn't add notes, which are important with swim workouts in particular. I really liked using it for strength training, as I can choose the muscle group focus for the workout. I found it a tad bit frustrating during swim, bike, and run workouts. Swimming mainly because I couldn't add the equipment that I might need or notes (ex: 3 strokes between breath). During rest cycles in a pool swim workout, you have to manually start the next set, even though it counts down for you, which I wasn't a fan of. During bike and run workouts, the watch automatically locks, which leads to 2-3secs of time to pause your watch, if for example you get to stop light. I think the watch has great usability and is great for most athletes. I personally will continue to stick with Garmin for now.
